    I’ll admit I print paper a lot but I always use double sided when I can. Overall I think I’m doing good with this Ecochallenge. Also, how are points graded with this? Is it extra credit or what is it? I would really like to know.

      You’ll get points for your final essay, and there are points for anyone who beats my score.

    It was raining today so I had to wear a coat to walk. I think it stopped now.

    Wow today was act warm! I didn’t need a coat this time! I used paper today to do my math test. I used both sides instead of one! 4 problems on each page. Saves a bit more paper I think.

    I love the ecochallenge, because it helps me be accountable and keeps me more aware of my environment on a daily basis.
